(Intro.)
None

(Verse)
Like a (C)common loon, (Em) I started hearing birds (C)
Birdsong everywhere, (Em) a lark in the (F)shower (C)
From the (C)night to the morning (Em)after (D)
(C) Warblers and wrens, (Em) hymn at my throat (C)
(C)Shook and quivering (Em) oh, I could have crowed
Oh, (C)I could have (Em)crowed / |(D) / (F) / |(F) / (Em) / |

(Chorus)
(Am) I was snared by your wrist (Dm)
I know what the cost (Am)is
In the octaves of conse-(Dm)quence
I (Dm)know the (Bm)cost of flight is (C)landing
And I (E)know I could take it like a (Am)man
I (E)know I could take it like a (Am)man / / / |(Am) / / / |

(Verse)
(C) Falls of fascinat-(Em)ions, the sky was leaking light
(C) Like your eyes do (Em) that shipwrecked expression
(C) I need more words for blue (Em) (D)
(C) Trilling in the tree (Em) the way I measure you (C)
(C)Fractured thir-(Em)teenths that grin that you (C)give
When you want me to (Em)quit (D) / / / |(Em) / / / |

(Chorus)
(Am) Falling further and falcon (Dm)swift
I know what the cost (Am)is
In the octaves of conse-(Dm)quence
I (Dm)know the (Bm)cost of flight is (C)landing
I (E)know I can take it like a (Am)man
I (E)know I can take it like a (Am)man
I (E)know I can take it like a (Am)man

(Chorus)
Falling (Am)further and falcon (Dm)swift
I know what the cost (Am)is
In the (Am)octaves of conse-(Dm)quence
I (Dm)know the (Bm)cost of flight is (C)landing
And I (E)know I can take it like a (Am)man - - - - -
